Dish heads to Chapter 11 as 5G spectrum sale stalls
Dish, the EchoStar-backed operator of Dish TV and Sling TV, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to wind down its wireless operations after delays in selling about $23 billion worth of 5G spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX; Boost Mobile and Gen Mobile are excluded and will keep operating, with Dish aiming to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of Q3 2026.
